Everything was perfect!
From start to finish, James and the Twinkle Start Team did everything to make things work for us --James was always responsive. We and our friends had a wonderful private exclusive 10-day Photographic safari experience at Lewa (Elewana Kilfuri House and Elewana Safari Camp) and at the Masai Maara (Amani Mara) based on his recommendations. Throughout the tour James stayed connected to be sure everything was as planned. We never had to worry about connections (Twinkle Start booked our Safarilink flights) or the quality of the Safari lodgings and game drives. This was truly an unforgettable adventure for all of us. We cared most about seeing the Kenyan animals, both large and small and their habitats, and we were not disappointed. All our guides were knowledgeable, entertaining and passionate-- Philip and Abdul at Lewa, Sully and James at Amana Mari. We also had superb accommodations throughout. We were treated like royalty at both Lewa (horseback riding with a giraffe and zebra joining in) and at the Amani Mara (which is wonderfully family run, at a beautiful location with gourmet food, private adventuresome safari drives, outdoor fire barbecue dinners complete with fun Masai entertainment, and lovely well-equipped camp rooms-- all simply amazing). In Nairobi we stayed at Severine Cottages in the Karen district --this was a perfect start to the trip-- the staff there even conspired to provide a surprise anniversary celebration. Each lodging was so special and authentic. We highly recommend organizing your safari with Twinkle Star-- James truly arranged everything to fulfill our desire for the African vacation of our dreams.

Amazing Safari!
We had an amazing Trip. Everything was well organized and worked out perfectly from the beginning. The accommodations were beautiful, especially the Suricata Boma Lodge.
Moreover the food during the Safari was delicious - Thank you Chef Salim!! Compared to other meals we saw Suricata offers a 5* meal, with table clothes a variety of different dishes like vegetables, beans and meat or fish as well as coffee after lunch in the bushes.
Regarding the tour our guides Bryson and Mandela were well experienced, showed us the best spots and elaborated on animal behaviors and habits. They could answer any questions and even spotted the smallest birds.

Great experience and exceptional client service
We had only two days for safari and Dennis from Morning Star Tours & Travel recommended us to go to Masai Mara.
Organisation of the tour was on the very high level. Out tour guide Rono was very friendly and helpful. The car was arranged only for two of us.
Safari in Masai Mara was one of the best experiences in my life. We met almost all the animals we wanted to see, including lions, cheetahs, leopard, giraffes and many others. The trip was safe, comfortable and very exciting. Would definitely recommend this company for your trip in Kenya

Family safari with a great guide
We did the 5 days Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorogoro safari with luxury lodges.
Lion king was really helpful during the preparation and organised the itinerary with a lot of knowledge and even adapted it to any change we requested.
We received all information needed and felt in very good hands from the moment they picked us up from the airport.
The country is beautiful and our guide Immanuel is passionate about his job and the wildlife. He made it a huge success and always went the extra mile with energy and kindness. Thanks a lot!
The lodges were really luxurious.
We saw all the big fives, in particular a wonderful leopard and numerous girafes, elephants, lions, buffalos,…
I recommend lion king to everyone doing a safari in tanzania.

Extremely helpful and efficient n dealing with unique circumstances
I was on a recent USAID trip to Tanzania and wanted to include a climb of Kilimanjaro and safari. Godlisten was highly responsive to our unique needs and took the time to understand what our team wanted and the constraints we were under. Colours Africa put together an excellent itinerary for both summitting Kilimanjaro and getting a wonderful visit to Ngorongoro Crater at reasonable cost. Colours Africa set us up with 2 excellent guides, Macoi and Emmanuel, who were very knowledgeable and fun to talk to. They were assisted by Tuesday, who was one of the porters, but is hoping to be certified as a guide, soon. Tuesday was a wonderful leader and ambassador and I'm sure will join the ranks of the guides in the near future. The entire team of guides, cooks and porters was very friendly, efficient, and helpful and made the entire experience in Africa absolutely delightful. We asked for a few last-minute changes and Godlisten was very responsive and came through with accurate and insightful advice on what would meet our needs. We came to fully trust Godlisten's recommendations on what accommodations to pick as he really paid attention to our needs. The Hhando Coffee Lodge was one example of a hidden gem that we didn't expect. There were even elephants snacking on trees in the valley adjacent to the lodge!

A reliable, fair, honest travel agency that delivers what it promises.
This was our first African safari and the company Apodiformes Adventures made our trip unforgettable. We chose an 11-day safari and 3 days of rest at the end of the trip on the ocean coast, Diani beach. Silas, the owner, responded to our letter immediately and any questions we had, he always wrote within minutes. We discussed the route, the accommodations, the food and Silas said a very reasonable price for it all. Much better than any domestic Hungarian travel agency. 40% had to be paid as an advance. The payment option on the website worked well, there was nothing wrong with the transfer. Visa, vaccinations, preparations, and then it was time to leave. Everything worked perfectly. Silas waited for us at the airport and took us to our accommodation, which was great after the tiring flight. The next day we met our driver, Samuel, who at first sight was a very nice person. He was our driver, guide and friend for 11 days. He is a very conscientious, caring and friendly person, with whom we felt safe the whole time. We visited 6 national parks and saw a lot of things. Samuel arranged everything, we really didn't have to deal with anything. Diani beach can only be spoken of in superlatives. All accommodation was excellent with buffet meals three times a day. The agreed transfers were accurate to the minute. We kept in touch with Silas on WhatsApp. In a word, I recommend the Apodiformes travel agency to everyone and I would also like to express my thanks to Silas and our driver Samuel.
